Subject: [SDL] Fullscreen refresh on win32
Windows has a terrible default for fullscreen 3D apps of 60mhz refresh
rate. This can be fixed by the user by going into his driver's
control panel and forcing the refresh rate higher. However, this not a
very user friendly way about it, and in any case SDL contains no code
that could figure out this that condition has afflicted the user.
So the question is, could SDL fix this for the user? It is possible
under Windows to request a higher refresh rate. The danger is of
course that if the user has an old monitor, and you request a too high
refresh rate, the monitor could be damaged. However, I believe there
might be a way around that: Check before switching what refresh rate
the user's desktop runs in, and if our fullscreen dimensions are equal
or less than those of the desktop, use the higher refresh rate of 60
and the desktop rate.
Since most users run their desktops in the same or higher resolution
something sane, this should fix this problem for most users.
Thoughts?
An alternative is to add an SDL_GL_GetAttribute(SDL_GL_REFRESH_RATE)
option so that programs can bitch at their users at their own
convenience.

This is the porting of 1.2.0 version of SDL (the latest stable one) to AmigaOS/68k. All the bugs known of the past version have been corrected. And I've added all the new SDL features. This version of SDL needs Cybergraphx V3 (r69+) or CyberGraphX V4 and AHI v3+. Probably it works also with P96 or CGXAga, but it's untested. This version is available as linked library for SAS/C and GCC, only 68k this time, a powerup (ppcemu compatible) and a morphos version will be ready quite soon (i hope). Implemented: - 8/16/24/32bit video modes, both fullscreen and windowed. - Hardware surfaces. - CGX blitting acceleration. - CGX colorkey blitting acceleration. - AHI audio (8/16 bit, with any audio format), always uses unit 0 for now. - Thread support (maybe not 100% compatible with other implementations) - Semaphores - Window resizing and backdrop windows (NEW) - Joystick/Joypad support. To do: - CDRom audio playing support - OpenGL (A guy was working on it but I've lost his tracks :( ) The SAS/C library is distributed with debug info attached, to strip debug info simply add STRIPDEBUG argument to the linker. NOTE: SDL includes debug output using kprintf, to disable it add to your project a function like this: void kprintf(char *a,...) { } Otherwise you can redirect the debug to a console window with sushi, sashimi or similar tools (the default output is the internal serial port). For info, support, bugfix and other feel free to mail me: Gabriele Greco (gabriele.greco@aruba.it) You can find also a small SDL Amiga page at: http://ggreco.interfree.it/sdl.html
